UNFORGETTABLE: Season One Review

CBS‘s UNFORGETTABLE is a brilliant detective series that absolutely rises above the rest. The show protagonist, Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) has hyperthymesia–she can remember every single detail occurrence in her daily life ever since she was a young child. Her amazing ability allows her to aid the Queens division of the NYPD investigate a number of cases, and at the same time continue to delve into the mystery surrounding her sister’s death.

Thankfully, CBS had decided to renew Unforgettable for a second season set to air on July 28th.

Fast forward to present day–Carrie and her ex-boyfriend Lieutenant Al Burns (Dylan Walsh) meet in Queens and join the NYPD to assist with a local case. In addition, reigniting her desire to find her sister’s killer.

The initial episode hooks viewers as we learn the specifics surrounding Carrie’s unique ability; and how she uses it to solve cases. The show also does a great job balancingthesuspenseful moments with a touch of humor. Dr. Joanne Webster (Jane Curtin of Saturday Night Live), Detectives Nina Inara (Daya Vaidya) and Roe Sanders (Kevin Rankin) completes the well rounded cast and provide the necessary balance with their unique personalities and at times, quirky dialogue.

Overall, each hour long episode features great storytelling–even the title for the show accurately sums up the entire first season.
